It is an opportunit y t o bring t he issue to the forefront, advocate for change, celebrate survivors, and mourn t hose who have t ragically lost their lives to domest ic violence. Domest ic violence is a deep-root ed issue that affect s over 10 million adults in the Unit ed Stat es each year. When we t alk about dom estic violence people tend to only think about physical violence, but abuse has many forms and can include psychological abuse, financial abuse, control, and emot ional manipulat ion as well.People need to be compassionate when dealing with domestic violence survivors. Children also experience abusive sit uations and are forced to process complex emot ions, often wit hout access to resources. We should make sure these children who are in a vulnerable stat e have access t o counseling programs so they can express t hemselves about t heir sit uation. Domestic violence can happen to anyone. There is not one part icular type of person or specific background. However, there is hope for those individuals. They can seek out support and healing.PLATFORM - DOMESTIC VIOLENCEAustin Ryde Photographyhtt ps://www.shreyaasumi.com/links
